A contemporary list of the members of Spotswood's expedition across the Blue
Ridge has not been found. As I mentioned earlier, in his edition of John
Fontaine's journal Ed Alexander identified the following of the 63 men who
made the trip: Robert Beverley, the historian; Robert Brooke of Essex; Capt.
Jeremiah Clowder of King and Queen; Col. George Mason of Stafford; Col.
William Robertson of Williamsburg;  possibly Christopher Robinson of
Middlesex; Augustine Smith of Essex; Capt. Christopher Smith of New Kent;
James Taylor, Jr. of King and Queen; and William Todd of King and Queen.
These names appear on page 14 of Alexander's introduction of the Journal.
Maybe this will help.
